Raid: Shadow Legends Gear Tier List

Speed is one of the most important stats in the game whether you are playing in PvE or PvP making Speed Set one of the most valuable in the game. In the early to mid game you can farm this set from Stage 6 of the Campaign and then as you progress you can farm this set in the Dragon’s Lair. Getting Speed gear is often your first major focus for farming.

Like the Speed set this grants bonus speed but also a small shield at the start of every round for 2 turns. You can earn this from weekly Arena Resets but access to high quality gear is limited compared to normal speed gear. This set is still S tier but making up good combinations will take you much longer.
